An Act relative to governmental and charitable tort liability

This bill removes the $100,000 cap on damages for victims of sexual abuse of minors who sue state or charitable organizations in Massachusetts. It specifically applies to claims against the state government and the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, ensuring these entities can be held liable for the full amount of damages in such cases. The law defines sexual abuse of a minor according to existing state statutes and extends this protection to include claims against public employees and contractors working for these organizations.
